Good catch. This actually seems like a reasonable revenue model tbh, probably increases the barrier for people to just host random meetups (although iirc to actually "run a meetup" group you have to pay something like $50 as a recurring membership fee, so maybe not), and actually making meetups more cohesive in the sense that you actually paid SOMETHING to show up. But I might be overthinking it.
